[00:18] why is the torrent broken bro [00:39] latemus: idk bro [00:39] latemus: What link you looking at, bro? [00:46] tsimonq2: dis one http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/xenial/release/lubuntu-16.04-desktop-powerpc.iso.torrent [00:47] latemus: What torrent client? [00:48] rtorrent bro [00:48] Hmmm idk [00:48] latemus: Try in #ubuntu, bro? [00:57] tsimonq2: k thank you my brother [00:57] latemus: Thank YOU for installing Lubuntu :) [00:58] np [00:58] thank you for making it [06:50] hi [06:51] got a question. I am trying to sell my rpi with my sd card. so I try to make any data on the rpi unreadable [06:52] I formated the drive with encryption (LUKS) and try to fill the drive [06:53] however PCManfm doesnt show properties of the device such as free space in bytes etc. [07:11] buco: can you run df -h [07:12] yeah it shows /dev/dm-0 30G 28G 48M 100% /media/buco/myfiles [07:12] 48 megs. weird [07:12] why do you want to ecrypt the data on the drive, just overwrite it seven times [07:12] 32 GB — 1,7 GB free (94,8% full) is what disk utility shows [07:14] not sure. it seems that sd cards and stuff do some fancy things , so it is not as easy as overwriting old hdds [07:14] DRIVETOOBLITERATE='put ur drive name here bro, you data will go away 4evr'; for i in {1..7}; do dd if=/dev/random of=$DRIVETOOBLITERATE; done [07:15] I will try. just let me find the note on osxs diskutil [07:15] k bro [07:17] https://pastebin.com/8tykUMhL [07:17] the note on the bottom [08:06] latemus: nothing happen [08:06] s [10:14] huh [14:50] How can I install the audio software on Lubuntu, the same on they use in Ubuntu? For some reason I cannot change the output for my audio. I got built in speakers in my PC so the audio is output from there where I want it from my TV. The PC is connected to the TV with HDMI [14:50] I have pressed "F6" and tried to change the device but no luck [14:51] alsamixer is what I have installed [15:09] Kiicki, you could try pulseaudio -> sudo apt install pulseaudio pavucontrol [15:10] however, i personally prefer alsa - lubuntu's default [15:10] yeah, that one just doesn't work for me as i can't change card for some reason [15:10] will try the pulse audio [15:11] pavucontrol is the mixer for pulseaudio btw. [15:13] probably check your channel volume controls before installing pulsaudio though. usually relevant are: master, pcm, speaker and headphones [15:21] i don't have experience with hdmi, which is an "advanced setup" (because we have additional channels). there's an "auto" switch available in alsamixer to toggle when headphones are plugged in, but hdmi might be a different story… [15:21] …so pulseaudio might be your only option here [15:33] kiicki: Just google'd a bit and found this question, which is a bit old (2013). It might "just work" for your setup: https://askubuntu.com/questions/370325/switch-sound-to-hdmi-in-lubuntu-without-installing-additional-packages [15:33] This sets the default output to HDMI. [16:22] where is the path for GNOME installation? Is it a package? [16:25] hello [19:21] hi === Olican101 is now known as olican101mobile [19:48] Hi, anyone about? I just installed Lubuntu on a friend's pc that was running XP and it's going great except the resolution. It won't go above 640x480 and I can't figure out how to fix it... [19:48] I've never used Linux before so I'm not really sure what I did wrong [20:10] Anyone know when people will be around to help? [20:10] what's up @olican101mobile ? [20:11] I just installed Lubuntu and the max resolution is 640x480 [20:11] Can't get it to go above that even though it supported 720p in windows xp [20:11] probably a driver issue. what card you running and what driver? see `lspci -nnk` [20:12] I have tried installing and drivers but I believe the graphics card is broken (both on Linux and windows I could only get a picture through plugging the VGA into the motherboard) [20:12] yeah well linux can't fix broken hardware XD [20:13] How do I install Intel Pentium 3 drivers? [20:13] using `lspci -nnk` what's the 8 digit (xxxx:xxxx) PCI ID of your card? [20:13] Pentium 4* [20:14] PCI I'd? [20:14] run `lspci -nnk` in a terminal [20:14] look for "VGA" [20:14] Okay [20:14] here's my section for comparison's sake https://share.riseup.net/#TIfPKG-YEpqXL12ou0QJaw [20:15] that's just the VGA section mind you [20:15] 8086:0156 is the PCI ID [20:15] i915 is the driver i'm using, and the only driver i have installed [20:15] 1039:6330 [20:17] I think that's the VGA one [20:17] okie dokie [20:17] and what's the driver you're using? [20:18] also which version are you using? [20:18] I just downloaded a radeon .Run and set it to executable and executed it in terminal [20:18] How do I find out the version? [20:18] it should tell you in lspci -nnk [20:18] otherwise you didn't install anything XD [20:18] version of lubuntu: `lsb_release -a` [20:18] Where would it say? [20:18] look at my paste [20:19] it says at the end [20:19] Okay I'll type that into terminal [20:20] Command not found [20:20] which one is that/ [20:21] Lsb_release-a [20:21] linux is case sensitive [20:21] l not L [20:21] Ahh [20:21] and lsb_release -a not lsb_release-a [20:22] Ubuntu 16.10 yakkety [20:23] and one last thing. which kernel are you on? `uname -r [20:23] 4.8.0-46-generic [20:24] ok [20:24] Should i just take the GPU out seeing as it doesn't work? [20:24] first off, if we get this figured out, do not upgrade to 17.04 or the 4.11 kernel as DRM support for SiS chips has been dropped https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-17.04-Slimmer-DRM [20:25] Sis? [20:25] that's the chip you have [20:25] Ahh [20:25] the pci id is in the format vendor:device [20:25] My friend has a suuuper old pc he just uses for the internet. He was getting constant viruses on XP [20:26] so you can see here, it's a SiS http://pcidatabase.com/search.php?vendor_search_str=1039&vendor_search=Search [20:26] Right. Don't update. Okay [20:26] So is there no way to fix the resolution? Because everything is so large [20:27] i have an idea of how you can help me help you [20:27] Okay? [20:27] you can post up a paste of your system info so i can get, among other things, the kernel driver in use [20:27] first, install pastebinit (you can `sudo apt install pastebint`) [20:27] then you can `lspci -nnk | pastebinit` [20:27] that will return a URL that you can paste here [20:28] Hold on. Should i take out the gpu first? [20:28] Seeing as it's broken [20:29] wait, do you have an onboard chip AND a separate card? [20:29] You may be trying to get something working that may never work [20:29] Yes [20:29] oh heh [20:29] yes do that first. broken is broken. [20:29] I couldn't get the card working in windows [20:29] Yup. Just thought it may be an easy fix but i guess its hardware [20:30] that actually might be your easy fix :) [20:31] Iean. The fact that the VGA works on the MB and not the GPU Linda says a lot [20:32] This pc is so dusty it's like opening up a crypt [20:33] Okay, booting now [20:36] Is it weird for it to take forever to boot after removing faulty hardware? [20:39] Er. It's just stuck on the Lubuntu screen... Should I reinstall it? [20:40] hard to say [20:40] it could be all sorts of different issues [20:40] but certainly, verifying that you have a proper install is wise [20:40] you should make sure to check the hashes and check the install media before installing [20:40] Did that. It was fine [20:40] then i don't see what reinstalling would do [20:40] It's just that since i removed this GPU it is taking forever [20:41] you could ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a virtual terminal (you have to ctrl-alt-f7 to return) and then check in the logs (/var/log) to see if there's anything relevant, especially in dmesg or Xorg.0.log [20:42] in general you don't need to do a lot of hullaballoo to switch devices in linux (unlike windows) [20:42] Pressed ctrl alt f1 and it's just a blinking cursor with flashing lights on top [20:43] Can't type anything [20:43] uhhh [20:43] Oh wait. It said something about recovery [20:43] yeah that's pretty weird. you got something going wrong and if you can't dig deeper it's difficult to diagnose [20:43] oh jeez [20:43] that's not great [20:43] Recovery terminal [20:43] probably a grub issue [20:43] Oh, login screen [20:43] That was...odd [20:44] my zesty zapus took two hours to install on a live usb, it takes a lot of time to boot up, but it works perfectly. [20:44] systemd seems to take a bit long in the boot, at least that's my impression [20:44] Now i have no mouse... [20:45] Odd. My usb mouse works but not ps2 [20:45] did you unplug the ps2 while it was booting? [20:46] No [20:46] cuz ps/2 ain't plug and play [20:46] Should i try restarting? [20:46] for the ps/2 that's what i'd do [20:46] i LOOOOOATHE ps/2 [20:46] It worked before it restarted [20:47] I do to but i don't have a spare mouse [20:48] Oh god. Now I'm getting CPU over temp errors [20:48] A raspberry pi would probably be better than this [20:49] this should solve your mouse issues https://www.amazon.com/3-Button-Optical-Scroll-Notebook-Desktop/dp/B01H4ZJZOU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492289337&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+mouse [20:49] sometimes old hardware is old. [20:50] Could get a mouse cheaper than that here but he has no cash spare. [20:51] Makes me thankful for my 980ti i7 [20:51] Hmm. It is taking a lot longer to boot... [20:52] I think I'm going to resinstall the os [21:06] Having a username without a capital is messing with my OCD [21:58] * falcondaadda says hello to #lubuntu :) [21:59] Guys I need to install Vmware workstation 12 on lubuntu and I am continuosly getting error that it needs to make some changes in kernel after that it does not starts the services.. [21:59] what should I do ? [22:00] Please any help.. [22:01] need the full error to provide any assistance at all [22:01] even still, i don't use vmware [22:01] wxl: just wait. i will post [22:02] Okay. I reinstalled without the GPU and the resolution is still 640x480 max :( [22:03] Olican101mobile: go back to my suggestion re: pastebinit [22:03] What do i type into the terminal? [22:04] sudo apt install pastebinit && lspci -nnk | pastebinit [22:04] then paste the resulting url here [22:05] How do you do that |? I don't have it on my kb [22:06] it's different on different keyboards but it's usually shift \ [22:06] Hello [22:06] I'm on a UK kb [22:06] * wxl shrugs [22:06] What Compiler is used to compile the official Lubuntu? and why is Lubuntu faster, than other Linuxes with LXDE? [22:07] Can i do it without? Or is there a charmap? [22:07] It works with alt + ` in windoes [22:07] Olican101mobile: you can't really use it the same way. i guess you can copy it all and stick it on pastebin.com [22:08] Lugal: since most of it's in c, gcc. and because it uses less resources. [22:08] Oh altgr did it [22:09] Paste.ubuntu.com/24390096 [22:09] its less resources by using less programms, or are the binaries just smaller? [22:10] looks to me like you didn't remove the problem child, Olican101mobile [22:10] The what? [22:10] Lugal: overall, it uses less resources [22:10] 1039:6330 is stil there [22:11] The card is 100% removed [22:11] And i reinstalled without it [22:11] you are using sisfb but should be using the sis driver [22:11] and if I use TinyC compiler, could I make my system even faster, than with gcc c? [22:12] Lugal: done know, but you can try to find out. [22:12] How do i fix it? [22:12] I just want 720p :((( [22:12] if you `lsmod | grep sis` does it return anything? [22:14] i2c_sis630 16384 0 [22:15] sis_agp 16384 1 [22:15] is that it? [22:15] Yes [22:16] does ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/sis/sis.ko return anything? [22:17] Do i put my username in? [22:17] `ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/sis/sis.ko` [22:17] just that [22:17] no need for a username [22:18] $(uname -r) tells bash to insert the current kernel version as /lib/modules has directories in it for each kernel [22:18] Is that a space between - r? Hard to see on mobile [22:18] yes [22:19] It doesn't return anything [22:19] weird [22:19] you don't have the driver in your kernel [22:19] It's just a flashing cursor on the next line down [22:19] i'm just. confused. [22:19] it should just be there [22:19] How do I get it? [22:19] UNLESS you're on 17.04 [22:19] because i know it was dropped [22:20] so again let's be clear what `uname -r` gives you [22:20] How do i see what version I'm on? [22:21] `lsb_release -rs` [22:22] 16.10 [22:22] OH [22:22] well [22:22] ? [22:22] it looks like it may only exist in 14.04 [22:23] Oh? [22:23] So, i cant get it on here? [22:23] let me confirm [22:23] yep it's true. precise and trusty only [22:24] So, i can never get above this resolution? :( [22:24] it's included in the xserver-xorg-video-sis [22:24] What does that mean? [22:24] you can install an older version of lubuntu [22:24] Would i need a separate disk? This mb doesn't support usb [22:25] And i cant get another disk before they want this back [22:26] uhhhhhhhhhhh yeah i can't really think of any other way to do it [22:26] Damn [22:26] So there's no way to get higher resolution on this is? [22:26] Os* [22:26] get a different graphics card [22:26] Ouch [22:26] Erm [22:27] Maybe i can get them a cheap one out of my pocket [22:27] i mean, old stuff is old [22:27] it happens sometimes [22:27] Yeah [22:28] there's this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2339658 [22:28] tl;dr compile your own driver XD [22:28] Erm [22:29] I first used Linux a few hours ago [22:29] that's for 16.04 so you'll have to adapt a bit [22:29] yeah exactly [22:29] wxl: https://pastebin.com/GDUTndZ3 [22:29] I'll just head into town on Monday and look for a cheap gpu [22:29] wxl: this is the log which is being generated.. dont know what the problem is but vmware workstation does not starts.. [22:30] iam using lubuntu 16.10 [22:30] Thank you for the help wxl [22:31] Olican101mobile: even then, it looks like people have had to do some serious faffing in the past to make the sis driver work at higher resolutions https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+question/145098 [22:31] yeah sorry for the bad news [22:31] I'll probably back on Monday to find out how to install a cheap GPU [22:31] if you get something supported, it'll be a no brainer [22:31] What's a cheap ($20 second hand) GPU you would recommend? [22:31] falcondaadda: right off the bat it seems like you're missing files [22:31] can anyone please help me [22:32] Olican101mobile: i don't know. i usually go to wherever, find out what the chip is and then look it up on the internets. [22:32] I did have to use the light install to use a cd instead of a dvd. Could it be that? [22:32] nope [22:33] Damn [22:33] lubuntu tries to support old hardware, but we're limited by what upstreams support [22:33] not sure why sis support has dropped off, but for some reason it has [22:34] i know that the reason why drm sis chips have lost support recently is because of insecure api calls [22:35] Would a geforce GT 710 work? [22:35] falcondaadda: also it's the kernel module compilation that seems to be failing. try running `/usr/bin/make -j2 -C /tmp/modconfig-1K3dod/vmnet-only auto-build HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/4.8.0-22-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc IS_GCC_3=no` on your own and see why it fails [22:36] Olican101mobile: looks like it https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/5rra88/can_i_use_the_geforce_gt_710_for_ubuntu_1610/ :) [22:36] Okay. I'll grab that. Thanks [22:37] but note that nouveau will not give you 3D acceleration. you'd need to install the proprietary drivers for that (the ones amd provides) [22:37] that's a little extra effort [22:37] wxl: how can i install the .h files its asking.. whats the command for that [22:37] Will it run chromium at 720p? [22:37] should i think [22:38] Thank you :) [22:39] falcondaadda: i have no idea what you're doing or seeing. [22:39] Thank you for the help wxl. Will be on tomorrow or Monday. [22:39] np Olican101mobile. i should be around. or someone else can help :) [22:40] wxl: https://pastebin.com/TiXc7d6M [22:40] please have a look .. whats with the .h files [22:43] actually it seems to me that the problem is in line 62 [22:43] so let's back up here [22:43] you paid for the vmware workstation license i'm assuming, right? [22:44] actually no [22:44] cuz as far as i know, that's a thing, isn't it? [22:46] i guess you can download it [22:46] * wxl shrugs [22:46] are you running a 64 bit version of lubuntu? and if so, which one? [22:47] yes 64 bit 16.10 yakkeety [22:47] so you downloaded [22:47] and you make the .bundle executable [22:47] and then ran it, right? [22:47] yes [22:48] ugh i hate http this download is taking forever [22:50] well that bundle is not very useful [22:50] why ? [22:50] no read me or anyhthing [22:51] i'm sure there's more to this if compiling is involved [22:51] did you load any dependencies? [22:51] should I install a previous ones like 9 or 10 [22:55] iam downloading 10.0.1 dont know it will work or not .. :( [22:55] i don't think that's the issue [22:55] i'm just trying to find decent instructions :/ [22:56] I dont even know what that means... iam deaddd :| [22:56] did the bundle install? [22:56] yes it says install successful [22:56] ok here's what you need to do: [22:57] two services do not start virtual ethernet and one more [22:58] sudo apt install build-essential linux-kernel-headers linux-kernel-devel [22:58] single command ? [22:58] yep [22:59] https://thepasteb.in/p/mwh1zBxpW8VH5 [23:00] whats this now .. this is new :p [23:00] ok just remove the linux-kernel-devel part [23:00] but type the rest of the command in again [23:00] unless it actually installed the other two for you [23:01] https://thepasteb.in/p/Anhr4LQrN6oFv [23:01] hmm [23:02] well that sucks. [23:02] i cannot find clear installation instructions from vmware [23:02] it does indeed.. :( [23:02] but i'm sure there's some other piece that's missing. [23:02] should I go for 10.0.1 installation [23:02] * wxl shrugs [23:02] don't ask me [23:03] oh man :| [23:03] if vmware published packages in the ubuntu repos this would be SIMPLE [23:03] i guess you can consult vmware for help [23:04] yes... so no way out of it.. [23:04] i'm not sure how to make this clear but it's a third party product. ubuntu does not maintain it. community members may have used it, but it's not a regular part of the system, therefore we can't support it. [23:05] are you aware of one version which used to work on this version of lubuntu so that I can download both the same version & check [23:05] no [23:05] ok.. [23:05] most people i know use virtualbox or kvm/qemu for virtualization [23:05] those are included in the repo and easily installed [23:06] yeah but I have vmdk files will they work in some otherer softwa [23:06] software* [23:06] i know that virtualbox is cpable of loading them [23:07] vmdk ? are you sure will they work in virtualbox [23:07] ? [23:07] yes [23:07] looks like I should give it a try.. [23:07] any particular version or the latest virtualbox is good ? [23:08] latest is always best [23:08] hmm .. thanks wxl [23:09] np [23:09] thanks a lot for your time.. I really appreciate.. [23:09] happy to help
